So, on Saturday morning, the Curve HQ team woke up to some pretty cool news. Over at Bespoked Dresden, the largest handmade bike show in Europe, 00Kev, our prototype gravel race weapon won BEST GRAVEL BIKE!
Last year at Bespoked, we turned heads with our CarboKev concept bike, a striking blend of carbon and titanium that redefined what a performance gravel bike could be. While it’s No Time to Die for CarboKev, this year Kev’s gone full cyborg. The carbon has spread like a virus through Kev’s limbs. Now, For Your Eyes Only, meet 00Kev, our latest prototype and the most advanced race-ready Kev we’ve ever built.
Wrapped in artwork straight out of '90s sneaker culture, 00Kev is a true piece of functional art. It’s lighter, stiffer, and stronger; the ultimate evolution of our hybrid carbon-titanium gravel platform.
We were so stoked to hear the news, amongst such an inspiring display of bikes, to be recognised for the innovative design, in-house carbon/titanium bonding technique developments and eye-catching paint scheme. Thank you Bespoked!
For 2025; we also brought along the UpRock V2, dubbed the StealthRock, the soon to be released AIR Ultra and our friends at Guten Bike brought a pimped out flat bar GMX+ build.
All in the crew had a fantastic time in Germany, expect us back next year, maybe with something even more out there!
